Can you wear spanx under compression garment after smart lipo to the upper, lower abdomen and flanks?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I have all my patients do compression after liposuction and Spanx is nice.  For 2 weeks I like a more tighter compression, but underneith I don't see any problems with this.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Bruce E. Katz, MD · Answer

Typically there is no need for Spanx under your
garment; the compression garment should be tight enough to control any swelling
that may occur. Follow up with your surgeon to be sure you are healing
properly.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

Yes, wearing a Spanx can be helpful, just make sure it is not too tight. The Spanx brand is nice because the garments give smooth compression and are comfortable to wear.

Michael H. Gold, MD · Answer

Sure. Compression is most important, and any kind of spandex type of garment can be used post procedure.
